1. Where Site-Wide Speed Lives

Open the SEO Analyzer (bar chart icon in left sidebar), then click the Speed tab. You see two large circular gauges (Mobile and Desktop), Core Web Vitals for each device, and a list of Speed Optimization Suggestions. Click Re-analyze Speed at any time to refresh the data.
2. Where Per-Page Speed Lives
Open any page from the Pages section, then expand the Performance accordion in the right panel. You see Page Size, Mobile Speed, Page Objects, Response Time, and Image Headers Expire. These are scoped to the single page you have open.
3. Why Page Speed Matters for Framer Sites
Framer sites often look stunning but ship heavy hero images and animations by default. Without optimization, Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) can exceed 4 seconds on mobile. Google flags pages over 2.5s LCP as poor experiences and they rank lower. Faster pages also keep visitors longer: a 1 second delay can drop conversions by 7%.
4. Mobile vs Desktop
Mobile speed scores are almost always lower than desktop because mobile networks are slower and mobile CPUs are weaker. Google ranks pages based on mobile-first indexing, so the mobile score is the one that matters most for organic ranking. Aim for a mobile Performance score of 70+.
5. What "Live Lighthouse Data" Means
RankFrame queries Google PageSpeed Insights, which runs Lighthouse audits on Google's servers. The data you see in RankFrame is the same data Google uses to rank your page. There is no estimated or simulated number: it is the real audit.

Frequently asked questions
How often does RankFrame update page speed data?
Speed data refreshes when you click Re-analyze Speed in the SEO Analyzer or open a page audit fresh. Lighthouse can take 20 to 60 seconds per audit, which is normal.
